Cool Video: Making Tommy Caldwell

Tommy Caldwell may be the hardest-working man in climbing. From his epic free routes on El Cap, to his early days of cutting edge sport climbing, Caldwell continues to push the limits of hard free climbing. In this recent video, Making Tommy, filmmaker Chris Alstrin explores Caldwell’s roots, beginning with his first climb in Estes Park at the age of three, to his current battle with El Cap’s Dawn Wall project.
